available modes. This mode also allows the selection of the channel the wireless
adapter uses. The channels available depend on the regulatory domain. If the
adapter finds no other ad hoc adapters, the channel that the adapter starts the ad hoc
network with will be selected automatically. The wireless adapter must match the
wireless mode and channel of the clients it associates.
802.11 Authentication Mode: Select which mode the wireless adapter uses to
authenticate to an access point:
•
Automatic causes the adapter to attempt authentication using shared, but switches it to open
authentication if shared fails.
•
Open System enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless of its WEP settings. It
will only associate with the access point if the WEP keys on both the adapter and the access
point match.
•
Shared-key only allows the adapter to associate with access points that have the same WEP
key.
For infrastructure (access point) networks, click Preferred APs… to specify up to four
access points to the client adapter that attempts to be associated to the access points.
